作物

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 作物 (さくもつ) combines making or cultivating 作 with thing 物, but at this reading it denotes an agricultural crop.
• Basic usage: It is used for plants selected and grown by farms and for the effects of weather on them.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Crops, not products in general
  • Read as さくもつ, 作物 refers to cultivated crops rather than to any object made by a person.
